She Dreams

She lays down and shuts her eyes

To rest her weary soul

It is from a hard day at work

To which her body has taken its toll.

This isn't what she had planned for her life

It's not what she wanted to do

But sometimes life takes you a different path

Now she is a single mother of two

She dreams of going back to school

And buying big new house

But, little did she know

She would grow up to marry a louse

Someone who would steal her heart

Eventually he would throw it back

Leaving her to raise the kids

And throwing their lives off track

She dreams of a time

When things weren't quite so rough

She dreams of a solution and finally

She has had enough

As she awakes, she writes it down

Everything she needs

She will climb over ever obstacle

Until her fingers bleed.
